Amazing progress, fun to watch! Is it me or is that jet on the tank resembling a Gloster Meteor? For an American bike that seems scandalous! Why not an F-86 Sabre?

Thanks ! Its been a fun little project. Hot damn your right, massive missed opportunity not putting a Sabre on the tank. Sabre is a lot more beautiful than the meteor.

The tank graphic also looks a lot like a Starfighter, which makes sense since the Starfighter was pretty prevalent in the early 50s. Same era as the bike.

The seat come out beautiful ! Really enjoyed recovering it. I did have some help with fitting the leather to the pan. It helps when you have someone with 25 years of experience recovering furniture.

That seat came together nicely. Had to happen. Great job.
